Snoring

68% of women say that snoring is the worst bed sharing etiquette. You could try a snoring mouthpiece or you could try Peppermint oil which has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the inflammation in the lining of your nostrils, this is enough to stop snoring if it is being caused by nasal congestion. This works best when inhaled as a steam, just pour a few drops of peppermint oil into hot water and inhale the steam.

Holland and Barrett’s Peppermint Oil costs £5.79 and can also be used as a bath soak. Not suitable for young children and may cause skin irritation on sensitive skin. It is available both in store and online.

Addiction to technology

When we spend so much time staring at our phones and scrolling through endless timelines, it can be easy to feel neglected by your partner. They can often tune out what your saying and listen to the things they only really want to hear about.

You might find it useful to come with a code word that shows you really want their full attention. Saying this means it's time to put away the phones and really listen to each other.

Coughing

Almost 40% of us sleep in a spare room or on the sofa if our partner is keeping us awake with their coughing at night.

Covonia’s new Night Time Hot Dose Cough & Cold Syrup is the perfect solution for those restless nights. It relieves the irritating symptoms of coughing and a congested nose and aids sleep at a time when your body needs it most. Covonia’s Hot Dose Cough and Cold Syrup costs £5.39 and is available from all high-street pharmacies and supermarkets.

Controlling behaviour

We're not talking anything too sinister here, but always choosing what's on the TV, what films you watch and saying what happens in the kitchen.

The power struggle is going to come into play when you're in a relationship, but it's important that you don't feel like you're being controlled by your partner and your voice is being heard when it comes to certain things.

How to deal with your partner's annoying habits

Prioritise

It's important that you realise that you can't change your partner, and in reality, you shouldn't really want to. But if there's something that really annoys you about them, prioritise it and see whether you could actually learn to live with it.

You could speak to them about it, and see if there's anything that you do that's annoying for them and both work on them together.

Try to empathise

Don't go in at them complaining and definitely not shouting about what they do that annoys you. Instead, take a warm and genuine approach and make it clear what they're doing and why it annoys you.

Be positive

Love is blind, that's why you won't have noticed these habits when you first fell in love. Try to remember what it is you actually love about them, make notes in your head, and when they start to annoy you, run through these things, chances are it'll help you bite your tongue and stop you feeling like you're nagging.

Avoid punishment

We're all annoying to some degree, and it's likely we're going to show these traits at some point. So when your partner does slip up, don't punish them or shout.
